When you can't avoid a fight, you fight dirty, using the radioactive anomalies to kill enemies, explosives, sniping, and silent weapons. You want to keep both as low (or zero) as possible when you are skulking around hostiles. The sound meter from the excellent Chaos Theory, and pretty much works in the same fashion - if you make too much noise, enemies turn towards the noise, discover your character, and ass-rape you. If it fills up completely, you are 'seen' and enemies gang rape you. The visibility meter is not like Thief - it represents if someone notices your character. There are meters on the bottom left that tell you about your stance, as well as your visbility and level of noise being made. If you must attack, make sure you do it without being heard, and if you are, do it brutally so that there's fewer chances of retaliation. Sniping and stealth are the key to success. The character is susceptible to bleeding (by wounds) so you don't want to be fighting at all (unless you need to).

The international Shelter Implementation Plan involved raising US$715 million for remedial work including removal of the fuel-containing materials. However, the structure is neither strong nor durable and there are plans for its reconstruction. 'The Chernobyl unit 4 is now enclosed in a large concrete shelter which was erected quickly to allow continuing operation of the other reactors at the plant. This was confirmed in a very thorough 2005 study.' International Atomic Energy Agency 2005 Report: An authoritative UN report in 2000 concluded that there is no scientific evidence of any significant radiation-related health effects to most people exposed.

28 people died within four months from radiation or thermal burns, 19 more persons have died (since 2004), and there have been around nine deaths from thyroid cancer apparently due to the accident: total 56 fatalities as of 2004.
